As we approach our last week of term, we will be looking at a transition text ‘The Secret Sky Garden’ by Linda Sarah. We will be discussing the character ‘Funni’ from the story and what she was like as a person and what she thought was ‘missing’. The children will create sky garden flowers about themselves and their personal attributes which will go on display in their new Year 2 classroom. In September when the children begin Year 2, they will continue work on the text ‘The Secret Sky Garden’ as part of their transition. |

Please note this is a basic overview of the planning for this week. It is impossible to cover in this outline all the learning that takes place during a week! We also believe in listening to your children and responding to their interests and ideas therefore all our planning is flexible. Please note some of the learning will take place across more than one week and during some weeks the learning focus may not cover all curriculum areas.
